Vehicle Description
1957 Porsche 356 Speedster PERFECT 'budget' Porsche 356 Speedster
'kit car'. A, clean-titled, 1960 VW Bug, built to look just like a
half million dollar 356 speedster! This car is built very well, and
turns heads on the daily! The 1600cc engine in the rear starts
right up and runs phenomenally! Single carb and single exhaust,
warms right up and is ready to stroll the town! All the lights and
gauges work (minus the 'bar' gauge), horn works, and so do the
wipers. The body lines on this car are straight, and it drives
straight down the road. 4 speed manual transmission shifts
smoothly, although 3rd gear 'nics' if you shift very quickly. Just
serviced at VW of Austin, tuned up, fuel system revamped, ready for
your weekend adventures! I have little information on the
manufacturer of this vehicle, as there are no builder tags or
stamps anywhere. The previous owner was 'Motoreum', in Austin, TX
who had the tv show 'Chrome Underground'. The build quality is very
good although, there is no fancy stitching or special carpeting in
the car. Wiring under the dash could use some 'looms' to clean it
up. Some flaws in the paint seen in the pictures (chipped front
bumper and a few minor scratches). The top does go up and down, and
clips in great. The little side windows and an extra set of mirrors
also come with the car. All in all, the car is a great pleasure to
drive, runs well and looks the part! Many people think it is a true
speedster... really an attention-getter! Please Note The Following
